To the editor:

On Thursday, May 23, starting at 6 p.m., the Clinton running community will host Clinton Runs for Boston. This fundraising event will benefit the White family of Bolton, victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Everyone is encouraged to come out and support the fundraiser in every way possible. The event starts at the Old Timer Restaurant, goes up to High Street; turns left on High and out to Mill Street; left on Mill to Carter Street to Main Street, back to the Old Timer. Participants can choose to shorten their distance by turning left at: Water, Brook, Plain or Allen to Main streets.

There’s no entry fee. Instead, people are asked to generously donate whatever sum they can afford. Commemorative T-shirts will be sold. Adidas’ Boston Strong T-shirts and Boston Magazine’s We Will Finish the Race cover will be raffled. There will be a 50/50 raffle.

If you are unable to make the event and want to contribute, please make your check payable to Clinton Runs for Boston, c/o Edward W. McIntyre, 162 Church St., Clinton, MA 01510. The generosity of the Town of Clinton’s citizens is renowned. We hope you and your children join us to demonstrate and perpetuate that generosity to benefit the White family.
